Aw, look. Two CTU agents in one post, bonding over a computer.

Well. Adam is playing a game that, as per usual, involves blowing shit up. Castle is hanging over his shoulder waiting for a turn and looking a little distracted.

Come bother either or both! Just don't make Adam lose his game.

"You speak as if you know me," Gorlim says haughtily. "But you don't. Bugs Bunny does what Bugs Bunny WANTS to do."

Take that, Yosemite Sam.

"And he usually does distract me at crucial moments when I'm doing things," Lee adds helpfully. Adam, who has no sense of humor whatsoever, is Not Amused.

"What, you didn't know Lee was buddies with a celebrity?" Because of course you're a celebrity if you're on cat toys. A cat celebrity!

"Not a--"

He'd been about to say 'not a fictional one.' But this is Milliways. And he's already had more than one run-in with the Shakespeare folken.

"Not a cartoon."

Ah.

This is a thing with which Gorlim has no experience.

He glances to Lee.

Pause.

TOTAL innocense.

Adam, confused by the sudden silence, glances suspiciously between the two of them. "Whaaat?"

"I am reading Lee's mind," Gorlim says to him smartly. "Adam."

The hills are alive with the sound of Lee facepalming.

Adam looks chagrined. "Okay--um, even if that's true, which I really doubt it can be, even around here, I never said you were allowed to read anything about me!"

Lee snorts with laughter. "It's not like I have dirty thoughts about you that would be embarrassing for him to read."

"Oh no?" Gorlim waggles his eyebrows at Adam. "I didn't say that, did I?"

Lee looks pained. Adam stares at him, scandalized.

"I don't," Lee reassures him, and pauses. "Can't speak for Mercutio, though."

"Tut, tut, Lee. It isn't nice to lie."

He grins at Adam. "Does your ass really look like that or is it just wishful thinking?"

Ooooh, Gorlim. He is just ASKING to get smacked by SOMEBODY, isn't he?

That somebody is going to be Lee, and the smacking is going to be hard. He thwaps Gorlim upside the head for now.

Adam looks slightly green. "Um...okay. Wow. Castle, you're...a nice guy and everything, but..."

Lee gives him an 'I'm not going to be able to dig myself out of this no matter what I do, am I?' look.

Gorlim ducks -- too late -- and instead of dodging the hit, gets vaulted into Adam's lap.

"Er."

He grins up at him.

"Hi, precious?"

Adam has almost gotten used to people assuming he's gay.

...But not quite.

"Could you, um, get off? I'm really not into men. Really really."

"It's the lisp," Lee murmurs, very quietly.

"I dunno. You're really rather comfortable."

Gorlim shoves Adam over and sprawls out on the seat.

Adam is skinny and bony and currently glaring at Lee. "Excuse me?"

A less brave man might say 'Nothing.'

"I said," says Lee, enunciating, "it's the lisp. And the way your wrists kind of...flap a little. S'why you have guys falling all over you."

Look at that innocent smirk.

Gorlim uses his arms as a pillow on Adam's lap.

This is all really very entertaining.

It can't last long. Mostly because if Adam is anything like Lee, he could probably beat the crap out of Gorlim if he wanted.

Adam, fortunately, is absolutely nothing like Lee, and couldn't beat the crap out of a pillow if it were standing still.

This does not mean he appreciates being used as a pillow. "Dude, seriously, can you get off?" He looks terribly long-suffering.

He continues to grin up at Adam.

"You know, politeness just makes it funnier."

Yeah, it is just possible Gorlim might have been a bit of a... well, not a bully, but a prankster.

"Is it true you can look up naked pictures on the computer?"

He's been Talking To People again, obviously.

Lee is not going to mention that he has used Adam's computer to demonstrate to Namo the wonders of gay porn.

Adam is not going to show off his collection of porn bookmarks.

Thus, there is awkward silence.

"Theoretically," says Adam finally. Lee snorts.

Gorlim laughs and gets up finally. "All right, all right. Can I play Minesweeper, then?"

He is, apparently, through teasing Adam.

For which Adam is grateful. But not grateful enough to immediately surrender the computer.

"Do you know how?"

Gorlim gives him a Look and rolls his eyes.

"I may be from another world, but I'm not stupid." He scoots over and takes the computer anyway, unless Adam wants to grow a spine and stop him. Bwahaha.

"Trust me, I've done everything possible to this thing and it's still working. I can't do anything--" click click click BLEEEEEP and blackness.

"Uh."

Don't worry, he's just pressed the shut down command.
